This witty musical comedy highlights the famous dog Snoopy with songs and vignettes based on the “PEANUTS” comic strip by Charles Schultz.. At the beginning we see Snoopy atop his doghouse. One by one the famous characters of Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Sally Brown, Linus with his blanket, Lucy with her bossy attitude, and Snoopy’s fluttering friend Woodstock join Snoopy onstage for “The World According to Snoopy”. This upbeat adaptation by Larry Grossman and Hal Hackady has the Peanuts gang going to school to give the familiar book reports and take the true/false tests. Even Lucy’s psychiatric booth makes an appearance as she attempts to sort through Charlie Brown’s many problems. Snoopy creates another of his writing masterpieces. Although “Playbeagle” won’t print it, the show ends with upbeat encouraging advice for all in the number, “Don’t Be Anything Less Than Everything You Can Be”
